In addition to her parliamentary work, Louis was a member of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe from 2017 to 2022. In this capacity, she served on the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights; the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee); and the Sub-Committee on Human Rights.[5] She was also the Assembly's rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders in the region.[6]

In the 2022 French legislative election Louis lost his seat after being eliminated in the first round.[7]
